I Moved to Jackson Hole!!!

Friends and Family;

This letter is an attempt to keep you informed on what I’m doing with my life.

If you haven’t heard, I moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming the second week of May.  I moved to partner with a church plant, live out life-on-life ministry, and work in the Jackson Hole community.  I am joining with Cornerstone Church, which was planted two years ago in the Jackson Hole area.   Cornerstone is a thriving body of believers that is growing fast in numbers and maturity.

I first visited Jackson Hole in the spring of  ’08 with a team from The Masters College on a Spring-Break mission’s trip.  I instantly fell in love with the area and local Cornerstone Church. I didn’t realize till later that God was growing deep in me a heart for the people and style of ministry I found in Jackson Hole.  That interest hasn’t changed and I’m going back this time for an indefinite stay.

After graduating from College I had several options of job offers and career moves, but when it came down to the final decision I felt God was still growing my heart for Jackson Hole and Cornerstone Church.  This choice isn’t a career move; it’s not a money move, but it is a move on faith.  I believe this is the style of ministry God has been preparing me for through past ministry opportunities, my love of the outdoors, snowboarding, and a desire for the gospel.

I started to study, pray, and talk to mentors about what I should do with this open space in my life. Through this last year discipleship became a focus; both how I will be discipled by others, and how I will be used to be a discipler of others.  This question challenged me hard-core!  All options considered; I realized that Jackson Hole and Cornerstone Church was the place that allowed me to be discipled and a discipler at this point in my life.  Christ’s last words on earth (The Great Commission) in Matthew 28:19, “Go therefore and Make Disciples…” I believe that’s what I’m supposed to be doing with my life.  I also believe that the local church is vital to today’s culture and discipleship. You could say Cornerstone Church and Jackson Hole are the “perfect storm” for ministry in my life. Lifestyle ministry can be tough, but I’m confident that I’m doing what I’m called to.  That’s why I’m moving to Jackson Hole!

I’m stoked about this change in my life!
